Today’s edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film Trailers is dedicated to the memory of Sage Stallone, the founder of Grindhouse Releasing.  When Sage Stallone passed away last week, most news reports concentrated on the fact that he was the son of Sylvester Stallone.  However, even more importantly, Sage Stallone was responsible for helping to introduce people like me to the old grindhouse classics that would have otherwise faded into obscurity.

1) I Drink Your Blood (1970)

I know I’ve shared this trailer before but, with the news of Stallone’s passing, I felt it was only appropriate to share it again.  I Drink Your Blood is perhaps the best film ever released by Grindhouse Releasing.

2) Cat In The Brain (1990)

This trailer is kinda disgusting but, at the same time, cats are just soooooooo cute, no matter what they’re doing!  This film was directed by (and stars) Lucio Fulci.

3) The Swimmer (1968)

I was actually surprised to discover that this film was released by Grindhouse Releasing because it doesn’t really strike me as being a grindhouse film.  That said, I haven’t seen the actual film.  I’m just read the John Cheever story that inspired it and I’ve seen the trailer, which I like a lot.  And so, here we go.

4) Weapons of Death (1976)

This crime film was directed by the underrated Italian filmmaker, Mario Caiano.  Franco Nero is not in it but he really should have been.

5) Never Too Young To Die (1986)

Does John Stamos have a reality show yet?  I thought I read somewhere that he did.

6) Steel and Lace (1991)

There’s a lot of mullets in this trailer.

What do you think, trailer kitty?
